No. We're not stuck. We'll find a way, even if we have to figure it out ourselves.

[brave_andstupid]

But ... we're in a different time, right? A different universe even. Are there any of us here who even have that kind of power?

[breakmychest]

Maybe. Especially if we... combine Force powers or something. I don't know how it works, I just know that I'm not ready to give up hope.

[brave_andstupid]

Trust me. Giving up hope was not an option, but ... I felt it wouldn't hurt to ask.

[a pause]

... What about the way death works?

[breakmychest]

...good question. I recommend not dying until we know more.

[brave_andstupid]

[a half-laugh]

Believe me. I'm doing my best, but I'm not entirely sure that that's a guarantee. Especially with what that Captain said? About outworlders being careful?

[breakmychest]

If Malak's going to try and take us on, he better be prepared for one hell of a fight. We won't go down easily.

...but if you're afraid, I know people who can help keep you safe.

[brave_andstupid]

I'm ... safe. For the most part. I have friends here too.

[breakmychest]

That's something, at least. [He thinks. He doesn't actually know who her friends are.] What's your name, love?

[brave_andstupid]

Elena.

[breakmychest]

Well, it's a pleasure, Elena. I'm Spike. I've been here about as long as anyone. [Except for that period when he wasn't.] Got any questions, I might help.

[brave_andstupid]

I'm just ... still trying to figure everything out. There's so much happening, it's hard to keep up with it all.
